This is my entire collection of Solarforce lights, plus a few extra bodies. The owner of the ark has informed me that I have to cull the herd a bit. A few of these lights and bodies are for sale in the CPF's Custom & Modified Flashlights - Buy/Sell forum here. Enjoy...

L2i (runs on three AAA, one 18650, or two CR123As). With my kid's toy...

L2i is sometimes mounted on one of my shotguns. The light mounted in the photo is a Mag XL50.

(Yup, set up for a lefty.)

The L2i is, for me, an ideal size...
004-95.jpg


Beat-up L2 (it was originally black)...
020-41.jpg


M8 with extension tube, L2i, L2P, sawn-off L2, L2M, and L2 micro...
005-85.jpg


M8 without extension and L2P...
007-79.jpg


M8's business end...
010-71.jpg


009-76.jpg


M8 without extension, nice compact fit...
008-77.jpg


The M8's extension tube will allow you to use a normal L2 tailcap and head (with the top of the tube, as shown) to make a 3 CR123A light...

After some cussing, filing, and snipping, I made an M8 micro!

My wife's L2M with pink GITD tailcap...
015-56.jpg


Stainless steel grip ring and smoother SS bezel for minimal "bling"...
016-51.jpg


L2 micro, made from the same beat-up L2 shown earlier...
013-61.jpg


Sawn-off L2...
014-57.jpg


My wife's "chocolate" L2P...
018-48.jpg


Notes: the Lego'ed lights are shown assembled the way they are for contrast, showing which part belongs to which light. I realize I could make the M8's body tube / light set-up all black, make the M8 micro all black, etc.

I forgot to get shots of the LEDs, but here's a list:
The M8 is stock.
The normal L2P uses a Solarforce single-mode XM-L.
The "chocolate" L2P uses a Solarforce five-mode XP-G R5.
The L2 micro uses a Lighthound XP-G R5.
The sawn-off L2 uses a custom quad XM-L.
The L2i uses a custom triple XR-E R2.
The L2m uses a Solarforce single-mode R2.

My latest nightly walk companion. Ultrafire XM-L 3-Mode w/UCL + AW 2900 = Serious pocket rocket!
The LX2's aggressive surface really helps my grip on these hot SoCal nights.

What clip is that
It's a Novatec clip that I cut and trimmed to slide under the A001 head. Works well for pocket carry and easily removed by loosening the head.

What tailcap is that?
It's an S6 that I modded by cutting the annoying "ears" off and polishing the lip to match the bezel ring. Much nicer with an easily accessable forward clicky.

Here is the new lantern for my L2. This thing just snaps right in.

Tailstand.

Headstand.

No more bulky & heavy Solarforce LT-1 lantern. :whistle:.

Yes, after (and during) the cussing. Really bright on one RCR123.
Should be just as bright as on one 18650 (but for much less time).

Now that I look at it, that lantern head looks home-made, probably out of another lantern... nice job though.
